Live & Streaming
2026 brings a rare alignment of milestones: the 50th anniversary of Steve Reich’s Music for 18 Musicians, the composer’s 90th birthday, and ensembleNewSRQ’s 10th season.
Reich’s groundbreaking 1976 work remains one of the most iconic statements in contemporary music — a luminous tapestry of interlocking rhythms, pulsing harmonies, and slowly shifting patterns that stretch and suspend time. It is music that reshaped the sound of modern composition and continues to influence artists across genres.
Presenting this masterpiece in celebration of its golden anniversary is both an homage to a living legend and a reaffirmation of enSRQ’s dedication to adventurous, transformative performance.
